The send_ext_msg_udp() function has become quite large, currently
spanning 102 lines. Its complexity, along with extensive pointer and
offset manipulation, makes it difficult to read and error-prone.

The function has evolved over time, and it’s now due for a refactor.

To improve readability and maintainability, isolate the case where no
message fragmentation occurs into a separate function, into a new
send_msg_no_fragmentation() function. This scenario covers about 95% of
the messages.
